"The back of the Buick was perfect.  Not a scratch.  I returned to the Buick and drove away.  It's not a good idea to mess with a woman who has a pimple."

--p.188 in Hot Six by Janet Evanovich 

I finally have had a little bit of time to catch up on my "summer reading."  I usually spend much of the school year reading YA books so I can "sell" them to the kids, so I decided that I was taking this summer to read nothing but what I wanted to read.

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm working my way through the Stephanie Plum series.  I wasn't sure what to think as first, but the characters and their antics are cracking me up.  Grandma is a trip.  (Think Betty White's characters.)

I did finally watch the movie for the first book, One for the Money.  While I disagree with their casting, it wasn't as bad as I had heard.  (Personally, I think the guy playing Ranger should be Morelli.  Despite the fact that he doesn't have brown eyes,  I can definitely look past it because the rest of him is yummy.)  One thing that drove me nuts was the horrible "jersey" accents.  If the characters hadn't been trying so hard to make me believe their accents, it would have been better.  Overall, it wasn't bad, and I will probably go see the second one, if they decide to make it. 

Until then,  I will be working my way through the series.  Honestly, if you want some "beach trashy" material that will have you laughing at loud at some points, you have to read this series. 

Now it's your turn.

 "For the third night in a row the man stood under the streetlight, staring up at our apartment, his face hidden by a red ball cap pulled down to just above his eyes.  I closed the curtain, trying to keep my movement slow so he wouldn't notice me watching him.  But I couldn't keep my fingers from trembling."

"Darlene's chest tightened, and for a few seconds  she couldn't move.  If ever there was a time to flee, it was now.  She put a hand to her chest, held her breath, and eased backward, sliding one socked foot at a time across the wooden floor of her bedroom.  She eyed  the intruder, wondering why he wasn't moving.  Maybe he was dead."


--p.1 of Need You Now by Beth Wiseman

p.26 -One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

(Hey!  Quit laughing!  The movie comes out soon and I want to be ready.  We all know that the books are always better anyways.  Besides, "everyone" tells me that they're pretty funny.  I could use a few laughs right now.)

Intercepting the team was impossible.  Twelve, fifteen armed tangos against one unarmed man?

Come back January 23 for a sneak peek into the book and read my thoughts on the book.
